Added NVIDIA 4090, plus Intel Arc 770 and 750 today.

Quoting: IperpidoI just realized i still had "HTC Vive" as PC VR headset, while i switched to Oculus Quest 2 some times ago.

I think it should be added on the list, since it's currently the most popular headset out there, even if doesn't officially support Linux, and unofficial apps still have lots of improvements to do.

Maybe it could convince Meta to add Linux support in the future... (i don't see this happening anytime soon, if ever, but who knows)
Added all current Meta headsets in.

Quoting: mr-victoryWhat would cause issues, Origin or EA App? Or the conversion process? Or all of them?!

Quoting: soulsourceSettlers 2 was the first game I got for PC. After 26 years it's still one of my favorites.
There's also an open source reimplementation of the game called Settlers 2.5 Return to the Roots.
I remember playing the original on Amiga, and then eventually TSII on PC and it only continued my love of it. Absolute classics.
